Jeff & All, (...) Thanks, Jeff. I am sorry this got to here, just got me frazzled, maybe just because I have a great time at shows, and this last one was tops! Hey Jason, you wanna carpool!

(...) Well I looked into the distance thing, and Mapquest is telling me it is a 7.5 hr drive to get there. So 6-6.5 hrs the way I drive. Still quite a trek.

Ok it seems a few people are in a tizzy, so I am hoping to defuse it a little. But as Larry said we should let it go. (I know, if we should just let it go, then why am I replying at all?
